The position of goalie has an inherent romanticism: masked men clad with cool armor, serving as the last line of defense. They play entire games, with an unparalleled ability to impact outcomes. When they're on, they can single-handedly defeat a giant foe. They are the consummate underdogs and towering superheroes all at once.

Eye/Vision problems have led to difficulties with computer work (please comment with what goalie/team you'd like me to start with)
I'm so sorry I've not posted any pictures (other than Hellebuyck) this season. In the past few months I've developed eye/vision problems in both eyes. First it was a retinal tear in my left eye that required multiple (painful!) procedures. It seems ok now. But more recently I've developed myopic macular degeneration (MMD) with choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in my right eye. It's caused the vision in that eye to be blurry and distorted. I finally started treatments (shots in the eye) this week, so hopefully in a couple of weeks the vision will start clearing up.
It all has caused computer work to be difficult. I still have to work, so I have to limit the "for fun" computer work I've done in the past.
But again, I had my first shot this week, and I'll have another in 4 weeks. And the doctor said my vision should start to clear in a couple of weeks.
So please leave a comment if you have a particular goalie or team you'd like me to post first, and I will certainly do that when I'm able.
My sincere apologies,
Carol
